Living in a numbered world

This morning I tested my glucose and almost jumped out of my skin when I seen 126. After having huge morning numbers in the morning since 2 weeks before diagnosis a 126 is almost there. A 126 means the medicine is working as well as the diet. The 126 also represents the organs aren't being damaged at that moment. The 126 means so much to me, it gives me hope that I will be able to control my diabetes.

It gives me hope for the future that not getting in control would of denied me. It gives me hope to see my Great Nephew Levi grow up, he won't be born until August. It gives me hope for the future I may not have had.

Our life is full of meaning and meaningful numbers. Each milestone is remembered by a number. 42 is the number of weeks Mom carried me, 15 minutes is how long it took me to enter this world . I started school at the age of 5. Lost Mom when she was 42 and I was 42 when I was diagnosed with diabetes. There has been a lot of good that has happened between the first and last 42 in my life. Too many to list, this is a blog not a novel. :-)

My favorite number today is 126, hopefully tomorrow it might be lower and I will have a new favorite....
